EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of British soldiers as they cross the treacherous Sakaltutan Pass during the First World War. Located in the Jebel Hamrin region of present-day Iraq, this strategic pass was evacuated by the Turkish forces in December 1917, paving the way for the 8th Royal Welch Fusiliers to occupy the area. The soldiers, dressed in heavy woolen uniforms and armed with rifles, march through the arid landscape, their faces etched with the exhaustion of the long and arduous journey. The dry, barren terrain, dotted with boulders and rocks, presents a stark contrast to the lush green fields and rolling hills of their homeland. The men trudge on, their spirits undeterred, as they navigate the narrow and winding path that leads them through the pass. The 8th Royal Welch Fusiliers were part of the British Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, which was tasked with securing the region and expanding the British Empire's influence in the Middle East. The harsh desert conditions and the relentless Turkish resistance posed significant challenges to the British troops, who endured scorching temperatures, limited water supplies, and frequent attacks from enemy forces. Despite these challenges, the soldiers pressed on, driven by their sense of duty and their determination to protect their country. This photograph is a testament to their indomitable spirit and their unwavering commitment to their mission. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the British Army during the First World War, and the incredible feats of endurance and courage that defined their experience.
